this manga came as a surprise to me. i had no expectations. what started off as a generic fun harem shounen-ish kind of manga turned into a tragic seinen with a roller-coaster ride of emotions, and a great amount of memorable characters on every side of the story. and the author will kill off people. This really is a GOT of mangas. highly recommended it. try it out, and stick with it.

Non-generic, definitely!

This is it! A series that will keep you addicted! I am enjoying it very much. In here

The dead stays dead, and that's final

Definitely not your average shounen series, even the tag has been changed to seinen (last time I check, about three months ago I believe, this was still has shounen tag).
I don't care about the romance in this series, whether the MC ends up with some girl, or with the

villain boss (the girl with the cap) , doesn't matter. Sure, it has some cliched moments (I believe you know all of those moments) but it only add some spice to the story, and like I said, it doesn't matter.
I just hope that the author won't drag this series for too long, or getting axed....
A must read if you're getting bored with generic series!!

Generic as they come

Rating: 3.3 / 10.0

One 9f the comments said it best, its generic, while i guess during its time it was the peak manga to read, now, there are other manga that does whatever this is, but 20 times better

Regardless i still plan to read it,i have some craving to the generic taste and this seems to fit the bill

It gets more gruesome as the chapters go on, at one point, i believe the crush some dudes testicle, and are about to crush the other testicle, like eww

Overall, wveryone is black and white, if the author tries to make some characters have more color to them, it comes off as last minute writing cause when they try to add some sad backstory to someone, that would usually indiciate something lifexhanging is about to occur to that character

Many things don't make sense, but if you like the concept and the style you can forgive those things.

Most new characters are only in the story to be killed

Shitty life in a Crapsack World...

Interesting setting if one had a quick glance at it, but then after first two volumes, you beginning to feel that this is very very very one dimensional generic shonen storyline. It is the epitomy of Good vs Evil with plenty of unnecessary gores, impactless death. Sighed... only in manga. The world don't work that way!

Alright. The empire is evil, there's no doubt about that. The people who work for it are pretty much psychopath or mentally unstable. It's hard to understand or feel anything for them other than which one bite the bullet next. The hero is what you expect from a kid who cry a lot and have inflexible sense of justice, spewing nonsense about justice like you expect.

So, a corrupted absolute government with a gang who believed in their own sense of justice, rejecting the current regime and loves each other like a family... holy shit, it's like a shittier version of One Piece. There is nothing mature or funny about this story. It felt like the author tried too hard to give some reasons for why the villain do the thing they do like Oda's style, but just got it very wrong.

-- Constant power boosting
-- Bad guys after bad guys
-- Power of friendship
-- Unsophisticated Bosses
-- Wimpy, dumb-ass, moronic MC
-- Unrealistic Romance (Harem, nuff said).
-- Lackluster humors (It made what suppose to be a serious fight into a joke)

I thought this story was suppose to be mature, but it's not. The only adult thing is the pointless "gore" that the manga could done without. Don't expect complicated emotions and thoughts in this story and just enjoy it for what it suppose to be: A Shounen Adventure.

Fatally flawed

If this was any other battle manga, it would probably be one of my favorites. It has fight scenes that are suspenseful and will constantly betray your expectations. Hell, the main romance is currently a love triangle that the titular character isn't even a part of. So much of it is done very entertainingly.

There's a slight problem though. If you actually think about the setting for even a second, everything about it falls apart. Apparently, the capital is Sodom, but if the populace was evil, then the only proper answer is to torch the place and let holy hellfire destroy it all. It would seem the general populace is good though, so why aren't most of them up in arms? There is something of a rebel army, but most people seem to be completely oblivious the the sadist nobility. Sooo, why isn't the band of assassins doing anything to expose the heinous atrocities of evil?

takes a different direction from how it starts

i really like a few things about this manga; if it weren't assasination based i think it would be a little easier to recommend, since the high quality insight you get in here is offset by the very brutal beginning: the main lead tatsumi exacts revenge after seeing his friends tortured to death by a high society, polite girl who was just jealous of the girl's looks and believed poor people could be experimented with in that way. tatsumi is made to learn very quickly by the other members of night raid that whatever noble reason he may believe he has for what he's doing, this is still a sin and they could face justice for it at any time, and deservedly so. still, one of the appeals that tatsumi has in this story is his innocence and belief in honesty, and you really do see at points in the story; but it's hard to reconcile that with the deed he does at the start of the manga, and so that drags the story down a little.

but getting past that (and that is a big thing to get past), the author has a fantastic feel for the characters, though this story is foremost an action story and that's what most of the chapters are about. i think one example is wave's (a character similar to tatsumi except he works for the empire; still believes in morals and tries to do what's right) fight with the prime minister's son who abuses his status to sleep with whoever he wants. wave at first tries to grit his teeth and look away, and then finally has it leading to a fight. wave does win the fight, which is refereed by a high ranking general, but prepares to keep attacking as he believes that the prime minister's son deserves to feel the pain he's given to others. the general then flashes before him and knocks him out, reprimanding him that he's won and proven his point, and that the palace does not need to see blood for this. the moment contrasts with the opening one with tatsumi, and again it just feels really real. and there's so much of that in this manga, scenes and characters where you say that's it. another neat touch is how the character's priorities change as they find themselves. the overarching ambition of save the empire, or do what's right or do my job becomes mixed with more personal values. esdese is willing to spare tatsumi's life when he's captured, mine willing to quit night raid to save someone, wave and kurome's relationships, etc.

there's fantastic insight in this story. there's undeniable goriness, and brutality. it's kind of all there, and i really think the author is talented enough to leave the goriness out. but the goriness came first before the insight, and so that's how it is. 9/10
